Pete's 1940 knucklehead looked great. It's featured in the current issue of Show Class.

Of course, that leaves Dave's 1937 flathead named Black Orpheus. It took the prize for "Best American Bike".

The show was good and I would definitely recommend attending next year. However, it went quite a bit later than I anticipated. I thought awards were going to be around 8:30pm but they only gave away half the raffle prizes at that point and the second band was still setting up as it approached 9 o'clock. They said they'd announce winners and give away the other raffle prizes after the band. I waited until the band started playing to see what they were like but they weren't my style so I left. I only know Dave won because the winners were posted over on the Konawerks Grumpy's Bike Show Facebook page. Regardless, like I said, I'd still recommend checking it out next year.

About

Gophers and Cheese is a motorcycle blog focused on riding and events in Minnesota and Wisconsin near the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St Paul. With very rare exception (such as event flyers), all of the photos and written content are completely unique and original to this site.

I bought my first motorcycle (my Sportster) in 2006 and have been hooked ever since. I started the blog in 2010 because (1) I found it really difficult to find out what events were going on locally and (2) I just really like to take photos.

The blog's name "Gophers and Cheese" simply refers to Minnesota (The Gopher State) and Wisconsin (America's Dairyland), which is where I do the vast majority of my riding. I admit that it's a strange name for a motorcycle blog, but it keeps me (and everyone else) from taking it too seriously.
